Our Team

At the age of 7, Matthew was expelled from primary school, the first in a series of exclusions by schools across the West Midlands, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire that were unable to support a neurodivergent child. Eventually the educational authorities withdrew their input entirely, leaving him without any form of schooling for a decade.

With the support of a local special needs school and dedicated mentors, Matthew went on to earn a BSc (Hons) and Master of Research in Psychology from the University of Bath, where he is now completing his PhD researching how digital technologies can support autistic individuals in employment. He founded SATIEE through the SETsquared Bath incubator and has been featured by BBC News, Autism Parenting Magazine, and Digital Construction Week.

Lauren holds a BSc (Hons) in Sociology and Master of Research in Psychology, both from the University of Bath. Her personal experience of navigating reasonable adjustments in the workplace gave her a first-hand understanding of how broken the process can be, and became the driving force behind her involvement in SATIEE.

That lived experience, combined with her research background and management experience, led her to play a central role in developing our comprehensive digital catalogue of workplace reasonable adjustments, the evidence-based foundation that powers SATIEE's core offering for employers.
